My heart beats for Eng...but I might have to sing Dil Dil Pakistan: British HC to Pakistan
British High Commissioner to Pakistan Christian Turner wore Pakistan and England team t-shirt and revealed which side he is supporting ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match at Melbourne.
He said: “We have waited thirty years for history to repeat itself. England’s batting and Pakistan’s bowling have no parallel, just like Pak-UK friendship.”
“My heart beats for England. But if Pakistan did what they did in 1992, then I might have to sing, Dil Dil Pakistan.”
